Humidity causing band tightness?



Recommended Posts

Typically in Washington we do not have this type of humid weather. Lately I have been extremely tight and my band is irritable. The only thing that has changed is the weather. Do you think it could cause the band to be different? Those of you who either are from Washington

and are having the same issue please respond or those of you who live in areas that you have experienced this. Thank you so much.

My doctor told me that sometimes you will experience a fluctuation with the tightness of the band. So I think what you are experiencing is normal. If it is constant and you can't keep anything down then you should seek medical attention. I personally have not experienced tightness due to weather but during my t.o.m. I feel like my band is tighter.

I live in the most humid State , Florida, no problems with band tightness.. IN fact I was worried about the change if I traveled.. I just got back from Colorado which has no humidity and did not notice any difference...

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
